My old man had a white one about 6 years ago sold it to a bloke from liverpool. C reg, 36k on the clock.

I think there is less than 40 left in the country now as they only made 100

One of the car mags at the time compared the Tickford to the 3dr Cosworth. Caren't remember which they thought was better. Both classics now.

I always wanted the 280 Brooklands with a 230 BHP TT conversion. More power than traction. Lol.
